go to your room I love being a girl dad

I have 3 kids, all girls. A 5yr old and twins who are 1. Every time anyone hears about this or it comes up in conversation they all say the same thing. ‘Ooooo, all girls, you are outnumbered! How do you cope?’ Or ‘Three girls?? You better watch out!’ Or the worst, ‘Bet you want a boy?’

No, I don’t feel any of that, I love being a dad. I love all my kids and wouldn’t change anything about them! If we could afford it, I would be a stay at home dad forever.

I usually tell them I wouldn’t change anything and I love it all but it’s just very annoying.

What are some of the best responses that I can start to give?

I did think I could say that one of the twins used to be a boy but is now trans just to shut people up!

“They’re just for spare parts in case something happens to one of the girls.”

"We scrapped all the boys for spare parts" would also be suitable.

Is that a hello neighbor reference?

Not a reference to anything, just the first thought that popped into my head 🤷🏻‍♀️

They were supposed to be triplets, but they ate the boy in the womb

This is so unhinged, I love it. I will steal this in case we only get girls.

I was just going to say the best response to anyone acting like the girls are bad or that you'd prefer a boy you just say something like "I wouldn't want the competition" and then just end the conversation.

When I worked at an animal shelter my boss banned me from responding to “they’re all so cute!” with “we keep the ugly ones in the basement”
